ST. LOUIS, May 08, 2000 - Rose International, a leader in providing technology and e-business solutions, was recently featured in a special section of Fortune Magazine focusing on Minority Business Enterprises. The feature was included in the magazine's April 17 issue, which highlighted the Fortune 500.

According to the NMSDC, U.S. corporations will spend nearly $50 billion this year on goods and services from minority-owned businesses.

"Getting certified as a Minority-Owned Business (MBE) has helped us gain an audience with many major corporations," said Himanshu Bhatia, Rose International CEO. "However, once we're in, we have to shine and deliver like any other company."
